User Comments: There are questions on the test that aren't even mentioned in the manual. If it wasn't for the fact that I've been exposed to Pilates before, I wouldn't have known. Also, standard Pilates terms like "The Hundred" aren't used in the manual using the "PilatesFit" way, yet they're used on this test.
This is an ok intro to Pilates but that's all it is...an intro.

Thank you!

This is a really great course for those who don't already have previous experience in Pilates, but as a practitioner of Pilates for approximately 3 years, it covered only basic level exercises, and I was hoping for more content. The exercises covered were explained thoroughly and in good detail, and could be used to add Pilates basics into a class.

Thank you!

Perfect for introductory content...especially the body awareness portions. Wish there was more detail in physiology and more discussion on specific modifications for special populations (seniors, pregnant women, children, etc.). And especially for the questions on the quiz that concerned which workouts to do for "deconditioned or advanced individuals"... But aside from that nitpicking, Overall I feel like Iearned plenty.

ACE RESPONSE: Thank you for the helpful feedback! We can look at incorporating regressions and progressions in a future course.

User Comments: Have to be a little careful with going back to questions on quiz. Though it said 100% completed, one of my answers wasn't registered. Made me a little leery to check my answers on the second quiz.

Thank you!
